While it's not a command meant to be used by actual users (hence, not
mentionned in git(1)), this command is a very precious help for
remote-helpers authors.
The best place for such technical doc is the source code, but users may
not find it without a link in a manpage.

change since v1: document environment variables for debugging, not
hacking the source code.

+# streams.
+#
+# To understand better the way things work, one can activate debug
+# traces by setting (to any value) the environment variables
+# GIT_TRANSPORT_HELPER_DEBUG and GIT_DEBUG_TESTGIT, to see messages
+# from the transport-helper side, or from this example remote-helper.
